Editol PIcAYUNB.-Please al low me space in one of the col umns of your paper, to explain a few facts, as politics is the order of the day. Oh, how disgusting to me to see how our farmers will do and are doing to be led off by these northern scalawags. and what astoniShes me more than all, is, to think as sensible people i'll our days ia large part can be led astray by such deadbeats, and to think the government will just rob the working class of people, to give these internal low down fel- lows that won't work at all a liv. ing, they had rather starve and listen to these broken down office seekers lies and risk the govern, ment to give them living than to work, and my opiniou they'd be like the man that 1 heard that wanted to buy corn, they want the government to give them the same and the working class to work for them. In the name of God, can we help men who won't help them selves. l am in favor of helping those who try to help themselves. l am in favor of passing a law to put these loafers that lay around town. either make them leave within thirty days or compel them to go to work. l work and there is plenty of work to do, if they will hunt it. l never heard of a man starving that worked. A man that wont work ought starve and the quicker the better. God says: Thou shall live by the sweat of thy brow. No wonder hardtimes are ou us. Are we doing Gods will? l say nay; and just so long as the people go contrary to the Almighty will, just so long there will be trouble in the land. l say hurrah for the good old Democrat ic party; so let's fight and do as God has told us to do and he will be with us always even unto the end; and as long as we can elect such men as Hon, T. C. McRae, James K. Jones and Senator Der ". There's not man on the face of the globe that will stick to his rights aud the people, any closer than T. C. McRae. God bless our country. | wish it were full of just such men-tell me that a new party can put better men than these in office. l sooner be- lieve that l could take a four year old buil by the tail and throw him over the tallest pine tree in the forest. l am for right and nothing but right. l believe it is right for the farmers to have secret Organi- cations, but for Gods sake keep it out of politics. My dear farmers, let's consider this matter, God has given us the inheritance of this beautiful land by the purchase of our forefatlers. l ask you to lttu, lulllh, anu pCNdit hON you step. Let's come to the front and fight for our rights, the rights of our children, the rights of our people and the rights of our land country. l think when we let go the good old Democratic party, we will go down to never rise any more. am talking to my farmer friendS-now we have got the world before us and the biggest part of the land in our hands and we are the root and foundation of the world and if we do the Lords will, no man can pluck it from us, You may ask how can we do that. |.

THE COMMITTEE ARRANGING FOR THE
GREAT CELEBRATION NEXT JUNE.


SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. editor
TRIBUNE: The committee of the
Missionary Baptist Convention of Geor
gia appointed to arrange for a place of
holding the Centennial Celebration of
the Negro Baptists OF Georgia in this
city. begs most respectfully the use of
your columns to lay before the citizens
OF Savannah the fact that there will be
9 Centennial Celebration of the Negro
Baptists oe Georgia held in this city,
commencing the first Wednesday in
June, 1888, and continuing two weeks,
preceded by the regular annual meet
ings of the Missionary Baptist COnven-
ton and the State Baptist Sunday
School Convention, each Of which will
remain in session week, thus covering
period of one mouths soiourn here.
There is, according to the latest stat.
istics, a membership of 159, $50 Negro
Baptists III this State. We do not tbiuk
that We over estimate it when We say
that not less than 10000 of this nun
Der will visit the city during this peri
cd. Besides, we expect visitors from
all parts of this country and the world,
making in the aggregate not less than
10000 visitors to the city during the
celebration.
AS the organization of the Negro
Baptists of Georgia commenced 10 Sa
vannah, the committee earnestly hopes
that the citizeLs will give literally of
their means, and leave nothing undone
to make this great undertaking grand
success. such as will reflect with pleas
ing credit upon Savannah and her citi
zens white and black.
( AS no church edifice is sufficient to
hold this vast number, we will be under
tho necessity to provide an inclosure
with the capacity of seating at least
10000 persons, therefore the commit
tee will be obliged to appeal for place
and means to erect temporary struc
ture for this purpose, Very respect
fully,

AT THE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH.

On Last Sunday night the congregation
and friends of the First Congregational
church met to welcome and listen to the In
troductory Sermon of their pastor. Rev l. B
Maxwell. Long before the hour for service
the house was nearly filled. When the time
for services came, every available seat was
occupied About five minutes past eight the
choir sang the beautiful anthem "P.aise the
Lord" The prayer of invocation was offered
by Rev Jackson Habersham. followed by
another we'll rendered anthem. The lesson
of the evening was taken from Corinthians.
The text was from second Corinthians, IL,
I4-'For seek not yours but you" Sub.
Ministers Mission. The preacher showed
that Christs mission was TO those who need
ed him, That Paul sought not riches but
the highest welfare of the Corinthians, and
hence type of every true ministers mission
Following Christ and Paul, whom he
thought very good examples, he declared
that his mission was for the good, which
under God, he might be able to accomplish.
He told the members and officers of the
church very plainly what they might expect
of him and what he should expect from
them. He hope as q Christian 10 be able to
work for and with the Christian community
REGARDLESS of sect or creed. He thought that
Christians ought to rise higher in their work
for Christ. than thorn hedges and church
fences, for christianity is spreading oyer
bigger area than one church could we'll cover
and that that christianity which could see
a man in the gutter whether he be fallen

not struggling 10 rise without helping him
needs another Christ to die for it. That his
mission here was not to hold up men and
stuff them like sausage skius with Congre
pationalism. He ia not in the sausage
business. but he is here to help men to BIZ
come christians TO hold up the cross o.
Christ. and TO tell of the salvation purchased
by Christ on Calvary for every one that On
Iieyeth. He is here to fight no creed to wal
against no belief but to accept every mai
